Watch here for more SMALL SPARKS!
Small Sparks is a creative programming initiative aimed at inspiring a broad range of people in the TvO community to participate in informal activities that build on a pleasure, passion or interest of theirs to bring people together. We began Small Sparks in 2020 while thinking about careful physical distancing without social distancing. On the contrary, we sought to build community as much as possible and avoid isolation, even as we remained careful about safety.
Do you have a Small Sparks idea?
If you have questions or the kernel of an idea of some way you might be able to create a Small Spark at TvO out of one of your pleasures, passions or interests, please contact info@tikkunvor.org
